    My boil yesterday yielded 6.25 pints which is pretty good for me. We usually get under 2 gallons a year which is a good amount for us.

    10 gallons of sap yesterday and 9 the day before. This is a good run for me. With the 10 day forecast I am glad I tapped as early as I did.

    You have me beat by a few years and a few trees. This will be my 4th season and I have about 15 trees to tap. I get enough syrup for my family each year and have fun doing it.

    I am tapping all the maples I have that are big enough. You are lucky to have that option. But.... if I had more I would be building a sugar shack and a big arch.

    I started with 75 gallons of sap, took that down to about 18 gallons of concentrate to boil to 7 pints of syrup.

    Do you combine your maple and walnut? Curious what that would taste like.
